He wrote, The Dumbbell pullover is my last chest exercise and it not only hits my serratus and ribcage, but it also pumps up my posterior triceps head. That’s the long head at the rear of the triceps and when it’s developed it adds a fuller look to the upper arm.” Also, the most important part that he highlighted is a good muscle-mind connection, without which, no matter how many reps you pull out, it will all go in vain.
